Chris Reeve

The first of the Sebenza 25 models to feature inlays is finally out and excitement doesn’t come close to describing how I’m feeling. I’ve known for some time now what the inlays would look like but wasn’t quite sure how’d they’d actually feel once I got them in hand. Well, I’m here to say that they’re a definite improvement over those on the 21, to say the very least. They’re contoured to fit the shape of your hand more precisely than those squared off ones on the 21. The benefit of inlays beside the aesthetic beauty is quite practical – they prevent much of the wear on the Titanium and not just because they cover it. Inlays are actually the only parts of the knife that will touch the table top when you place it down. Slide it across the table, the durable inlays will take the punishment, leaving your Titanium scratch free. In addition to the inlays, this Micarta model comes with dual Silver thumb lugs (won’t show wear like the blue lugs) and backspacer, which makes for a very beautiful knife. The 25 boasts improved ergonomics, larger and more durable internal parts, a redesigned thumb ramp, a new “Large Hollow” blade grind, and now you can add better inlays to the list of improvements over the 21. These are absolutely stunning knives built to the quality Chris Reeve is famous for, check out this awesome new knife at www.knifecenter.comContinue Reading →

Full titanium handles with a Chris Reeve inspired monolock… and assisted opening??? Finally, the much anticipated Lerch Subrosa is here! This knife is easy on your pocket, powerful and strong. It is also beautiful. Plus, if you act quick, the batch we currently have on our shelf is serial numbered and marked first production run. This knife will be looked back on as one of the classic Benchmades.

Ever thought you’d see a Chris Reeve folder for under 200 bucks? Yeah, neither did we… but here they are! In the interest of full disclosure, the knife is built in the Fantoni facility in Italy, but each knife was inspected by (the very particular) Chris Reeve in Idaho before they were shipped out. The design is a collaboration between Chris and Bill Harsey – with whom he has designed several fixed blades. This knife is limited to only a few dozen left on the market anywhere , so don’t miss this opportunity to own a beautiful knife at an unheard of price.

Chris Reeve Sebenzas are legendary. Many consider them to be the finest “mid-tech” folding knives made. “Mid-tech” refers to products that are no mass produced but are still produced at a higher rate than standard production knives. There is a lot of hand work and care in each piece. These models that just came in were hand picked by us at this year’s Blade Show. Each is a one of a kind creation. They are remarkable folders. Lots of Damascus blades and great anodized images on the handles. You can see them all at: www.knifecenter.com
